I really don't get the point of this article. Feels like you had a self-imposed content quota and needed a topic, so you grabbed something and ran with it.
If you're worried about flame wars between fans of different EV brands, let alone getting spice in your mentions from Rivian and Lucid owners, then you are WAY too deep in your own bubble, Tim.
Tesla fanboys/Elon stans have been toxic, awful humans for years now. Depending on where you live, owning a Tesla stopped being a novelty awhile back, as well. Where I am, they're approaching OK Boomer meme status.
But who cares?
Flamewars amongst smartphone, EV, or any other gadget-type owners matters online insomuch as it matters at all — which is zero unless you're way too deep into comment sections and chatrooms, or earn your keep keeping the drama alive.
Why write about this stuff, Tim? Especially if you're going to end on a massive limp noodle like Maybe We Can All Coexist? Serious bad bumper sticker territory.
Tell us about things that matter, like battery tech, charging infrastructure, political maneuvering for/against EVs and coal burners, and the future of transportation.
Why waste your time - let alone mine - on a substack about "The great vehicular fanboy wars to come"? I mean, is that an idea you're trying to proliferate? Good lord, I hope not.
I predict that as a comparison to smartphones, Tesla is Apple and the traditional manufacturers are Microsoft Palm and RIM.
Tesla will lose its market share, but will still be a major player.
Personally, I’ll buy a brand other than Tesla as soon as an EV that suits be better than a 3 is available. But not holding my breath, because evidently I’m the only one in America that doesn’t like SUVs or trucks.
